Creative Back to School Ideas With Velcro

How Teachers Use Velcro Dots In Bulk

Velcro makes many projects easier. Teachers often purchase Velcro dots in bulk because they serve so many functions in a classroom. Some examples include:

  • Hanging up days of the week and months of the year for Calendar Time
  • Posting students’ Weekly Jobs so they are easy to switch out
  • Sticking up weather cards: Cloudy, Windy Rainy, Sunny

Feiner Supply, established in 1945, is a source for Velcro products, shears, polyester webbing and more.

How to Use Velcro Rolls in Bulk

Cut Velcro the desired size for the following projects:

1. Organize stuffed animals in your home.

After buying Velcro rolls in bulk, attach a sheet to the playroom wall and pieces to your children’s stuffed animals. Your kids will love sticking their cuddly toys to the wall while helping you clean up.

2. Keep tablecloth from flying away outside.

Whether eating outside on your patio or having a picnic at the park, it’s no fun when the tablecloth blows away with a gust of wind. Attach Velcro to the bottom of the tablecloth and the top of the table to keep it firmly in place.

3. Remove pills from your sweater collection.

Pull out your sweaters from storage, and make them look as good as new. The hook side of Velcro can remove pills from fabric and eliminate pills once and for all.

4. Tie up your computer cords.

A strip of Velcro will keep your computer cords together so that they don’t get out of control. Wrap a piece around the cords to contain them quickly and easily.

5. Pen and paper handy

If you’re tired of always having to hunt for a pen when you want to jot something on your calendar, purchasing Velcro rolls in bulk is the solution. Put a piece of Velcro on the calendar and a pen to keep writing implements handy. You can even use Velcro to attach a memo pad to your car dashboard.

6. Organize the garage.

Tools can get out of control in the garage. Stop wasting your time searching; hang them on the wall with a strip of Velcro, and you will always be able to find what you need.

Unique Ways to Personalize Your Stuff with Hook and Loop

Velcro Innovative Uses

Hook and Loop tape is an easy-to-use and durable fastener that was invented in 1941 by a Swiss engineer. It has one side with hooks and another with loops. When you press the sides together, the hooks catch on the loops. They’re easy to attach and detach, and they provide reliable, secure fastening. Most hook and loop tape has a sticky side to make attaching it to objects easy. You can also sew it on. Here are some easy ways to personalize your stuff with hook and loop tape.

Make Your Office Cubicle Your Own

Many people have office spaces that look depressingly identical to every other spot in their workplace. Fortunately, you can use hook and loop tape to hang pictures, calendars, daily to-do lists, and other decor without damaging the cubicle wall with a nail or making a lot of noise with a hammer. Some cubicles have carpet wall coverings to reduce noise, so you won’t need to attach the loop side to the wall. You can just stick the hook side to the object you want to hang. The carpet will act as the loop side when you place it on the wall.

Label Backpacks and Other Accessories 

You can sew or glue hook and loop tape to kids’ backpacks, calculators, laptops, and notebooks. Then, just attach a patch or a cardboard printout with your child’s name or their favorite animal or cartoon character. That way, he or she will be able to keep track of belongings better. To let another child use a personalized object, just change the patch or printout.
